Sports Injury

Few things are as painful as watching your favorite player get benched with an injury -- except, of course, for the pain, you experience when you're one taken out of the game. Sports injuries are agonizing and debilitating for casual sports enthusiasts and seasoned professionals alike. Fortunately, you don't have to keep missing on your favorite activities, thanks to the all-natural sports injury care available at Lubbock Advanced Physical Medicine in Lubbock, TX.

Common Sports Injury Causes and Symptoms

Some sports injuries are so sudden and violent that there's little doubt about their cause. A brutal fall, tackle, or another impact can affect your spinal or extremity joint alignment, causing not only joint damage and soft tissue pain but also pinched nerve symptoms such as tingling, numbness, and loss of muscle strength. On the other end of the scale are those chronic sports injuries that grow slowly through repeated damage to tendons or muscles, resulting in nagging pain and inflammation. An existing alignment problem can make a sports injury worse, or make you more prone to sports injuries in the first place.
